Hi GFs,
I know some of us went to the sample sales and thought it will be interesting to talk about the styles we saw and also post pics of the goodies we got.
So I'll go first. I was in CA when the sale started and unfortunately was not able to go the first day, so I ended up going only in the afternoon of the second day.
They had 4 tables of samples, but I think a lot of them were either leftover older style bags and maybe some were the original samples for collections already released. I only saw a few that I had not seen before but I don't know if they were new or older styles.
Let me see if I remember what I saw:
Table 1:
Florentine Logan in t-moro
Montecito Liliana in Bone
Saffiano zip zip in orange
Ostrich zip zip in gray/black trim
Ostrich drawstring in gray/gray trim
Lexington totes in pebbled leather
Siena DS
Patent tote in caramel (this one I had not seen before)
Roxy in yellow (I think the color is called butter)
Claremont DS in red
Claremont Olivia in coral? I forgot the color, it was kind or orange, red.
Saffiano Syndey in black (without the strap)
Daffodil DS in white
City small barlow in light gray
City small barlow in charcoal
Table 2:
Tartan zip zip (like the one from Macy's, which I have)
Hearts zip sip (also from Macy's)
A few Carley bags
Signature zipper tassel shoulder bag (this one is an old style)
Some other siggy pieces
Nylon small leighton tote in navy
Somerset mini zip zip in blue
Nylon crossbody in gray
A yellow DS, with a wider trim with some kind of perforations on it.
Table 3:
Florentine Clayton in red
Florentine Domed buckle satchel in gray
Florentine small satchel in crimson or bordeaux
Florentine pocket satchel (the one with one pocket in the front) in marine or navy
Florentine small satchel in small
Seville Hobo in sage or green
Seville Callie Zipper hobo in navy
Amazon tote in light blue
Large Roxy in yellow (I think the color is called butter)
Table 4:
Claremont tote in lavender
Croco large barlow in red
Croco large barlow in t-moro
Woven large barlow in blue
Ostrich Tara or Jennie (blue in one side, natural in the back)
Python DS in brown
Small display with crossbody bags:
Florentine Cristina in black
Verona Bionda in burgundy
Cristina in charcoal croco/dark brown trim
Saffiano Lexi in turquoise
Claremont field bag in orange
Lulu small fiona in blue
Mini zip zip in gray snake
Mini zip zip in black pebbled leather
Lexi in houndstooth
So as you can see there was a lot to chose from. I ended up with:
Roxy in yellow (I think the color is called butter)
City small barlow in charcoal
Croco large barlow in red
Florentine Cristina in black
Verona Bionda in burgundy
Claremont field bag in orange
Lulu small fiona in blue
